The Nagaland Pickleball Association (NPA) will host the Christmas Charity Invitation 2025 on 22nd and 23rd December 2025 at The Fitness House, Dimapur. The two-day pickleball tournament is being organised to bring together Nagaland’s growing pickleball community in the true spirit of Christmas—competitive yet friendly—while giving back to society.
The event will be held in aid of Spring Harbour Home and Kohima Orphanage & Destitute Home, with all charitable proceeds contributed on behalf of the NPA and the pickleball community. Event surplus, patron contributions, and a monetary donation register placed at the venue will form the sources of charity contribution. To ensure transparency, all donations will be monetary, and donations in kind will not be accepted.
